point of no return

As the family prepares for Owen's birthday party, Sam offers to join
Julia for a summer vacation in Europe. And when Claudia discovers that
Avery's reclusive son has come to live with him, she offers to show
Marcus the town. Meanwhile, Grace isn't excited about the prospect of
her own parent's upcoming visit, but Charlie wants to make them feel
welcome. However, after inviting them to the restaurant, Charlie must
bring Owen along after Bailey doesn't show to baby-sit. Then, as Julia
suspects Sam of making a racist comment, Bailey buys drinks with the
money he was given to hire a clown for party.

While sure they'll disapprove, Grace doesn't know how to react when her
mom and dad like the house and Charlie. But when Rose and Martin offer
to help with the birthday party, and Charlie is more than willing to
accept their generosity, she thinks it's just another attempt to meddle
in her life. Meanwhile, after getting both sympathy and cash from Julia,
Bailey's trip to buy a gift for Owen ends at a liquor store. And after
Sam tries to dismiss his racist remarks as a misunderstanding, Julia
decides their relationship must end.

Arriving drunk, Bailey attempts to fill in for the clown himself. But
after scaring Owen's guests, he barely avoids a fight with Charlie
before being put to bed. And when Rose and Martin suggest Bailey has
a problem with alcohol, Charlie now agrees that they are meddling,
only to find that, this time, Grace agrees with her parents. Finally,
when Sarah drops off a gift for Owen, she and Julia are surprised to
find that Bailey has disappeared, while Claudia heads off to spend some
time with Marcus on her own.
